Tehillim - Zhitomir. Beautiful Copy
Tehillim printed by R' Chanina Lipa, R' Aryeh Leib and R' Yehoshua Heschel Shapira, grandsons of Rabbi Pinchas of Koritz. Zhitomir, 1849.
Kitvei Kodesh, fifth part, Tehillim and Mishlei, including the Targum, Rash"i's commentary, Metzudat David and Metzudat Tziyon; and a Yiddish translation. Two title pages, with the first in black in red.
As is known, sefarim which were printed at the Shapira family press, especially Tehillim and siddurim, are preferred by leading Admo"rim and their Chassidim (especially those of Skver), and through the generations, many have given priority to reciting Tehillim specifically from the Zhitomir edition.
[2] 241 leaves. 24 cm. Very fine condition. Aging stains. Tear without lack in several leaves. New binding.
